Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of two drugs: the anticholinergic agent oxybutynin (Ditropan) and the calcium channel blocker verapamil (Isoptin) in the management of nocturnal enuresis in patients with orthotopic ileal reservoirs.
Material And Methods: The study population comprised 20 male enuretic patients who had undergone radical cystoprostatectomy and formation of an orthotopic ileal reservoir (hemi-Kock or W-neobladder). All patients were clinically evaluated regarding their continence state.
Purpose: We determined the differences in outcome between ureteral stenting and nonstenting following uncomplicated ureteroscopy for distal ureteral stones.
Materials And Methods: A total of 220 patients treated with successful ureteroscopy for distal ureteral stones were randomized to 2 equal groups according to postoperative placement of a ureteral stent (Cook Ireland, National Technological Park, Ireland), including group 1--without a stent and group 2--with a stent. Outcome measures were flank pain and dysuria at 48 hours and 1 week, early postoperative complications, analgesia need, rehospitalization, return to normal physical activity, stone-free rate, stone recurrence and late postoperative complications.
Purpose: To evaluate the effect of the position of the proximal and distal ends of Double-J ureteral stents on postprocedural flank pain, lower urinary-tract symptoms, and quality of life.
Patients And Methods: The study included 120 patients who required unilateral Double-J ureteral stents for various indications. They were randomized into two equal groups.
Purpose: We evaluated different enterocystometric parameters at different filling rates.
Materials And Methods: A total of 20 male patients who underwent radical cystoprostatectomy and orthotopic detubularized ileal reservoirs with at least 1 year of followup were the material of this study. Enterocystometry was done with a slow fill rate (10 ml.
